Organise a Wix menu around customer needs
A useful menu names the information customers recognise and puts the important routes within easy reach. In Wix, menu links can point to pages, documents, sections and external tools. First check whether your site uses a regular or advanced menu, because their editing controls are not identical.
Before you start
- List the questions visitors usually need answered: services, prices, location or contact.
- Take a screenshot of the existing menu and its mobile version.
- Map every proposed label to a real, ready destination.
What to do
Simplify the labels
Prefer names a first-time customer can understand. A café might use Menu, Visit us and Contact rather than three branded phrases. Keep labels distinct so two different pages do not both appear as More information in the same menu.
Review the order and grouping
Use the menu controls to place important links first and group only closely related items. Avoid several levels of dropdowns for a small site. Check whether the menu is shared across pages so a local edit does not leave another header inconsistent.
Inspect each item’s link type
For a regular Wix Editor menu, Pages and Menu contains the site-menu links and their management actions. Check whether each item is a page, external link or document before changing it. Renaming an item should not accidentally replace its destination.
Test as a visitor
Preview the desktop menu, then open and close the mobile menu and follow each ordinary page link. Ensure dropdowns remain usable without precise mouse movements. Publish only once the complete saved version is ready and check the live menu again.
What to check
- The important customer routes are easy to identify.
- Every visible item has the intended destination.
- Mobile navigation remains readable and does not cover its own controls.
